A Tshirt For FarmVille Fans

in Crazy Things I Did In 2009, Internet, The Worn-acular Collection

After about six weeks of playing FarmVille night after night, I’ve reached Level 29. Needless to say it pisses off the wife.

I crossed 41,000 XP points tonight, and my interest in the game is on the wane. I might stop playing soon.

Here’s what my farm looks like.

Have you noticed how ridiculously phallic the grain silos look? I buy one everyday and I’m fast running out of space to store them.

One thing I’d like FarmVille’s developers to do is make these decorations and buildings useful to farming. Sure, they get you XP points for buying them, but they just sit there and do nothing to make farming easy.

So what level are you on?

Kaminey Review – Gotta love the Sten gun

in Bollywood, Films, I like..., The Worn-acular Collection

Sometimes you see a trailer and you know instantly you will like the film. Kaminey has turned out to be worth the wait and hype.

Shahid Kapoor, IMHO, has delivered his grittiest show yet. His saliva-swapping, bullet-popping double role with a double speech impediment must be one of the more challenging roles taken on by a mainstream Bollywood actor in recent times. Especially given the homosexual overtones in the portayal of Charlie.

Priyanka Chopra kicks ass too. For once she’s not the dolled-up accessory to the protagonist. My favourite bit involving her was when she picks up the Sten gun. When was the last time that gun appeared in a Hindi film? 1993?

I thought the climax parodied those of some gangster films. It might be considered overtly philosophical too. This film isn’t Omkara, but it stands apart from Vishal Bharadwaj’s films. My respect for him has grown. I’d give Kaminey 3.75 out of 5.

And here’s an addition to the Wornacular Collection:
